Long, wide-open and fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 2, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

The tee signs were well done and very informative. The Prodigy baskets are all in very good shape.
The park is pretty big and the DG course occupies a pretty large area and the course does a good job of taking advantage of that.
Each hole had 3 possible basket placements that were often drastically different, so it appears the local club can change the layout and have alot of options.
The overall feel is that the course is long and wide-open which lets you reach back and rip it all round.
The available flora is limited but it does take advantage of what is available to force some shot-shaping.

Cons:

The largest con has to be the tee pads, they are brick tee pads and many have seen better days. Several had lose bricks and some seemed to be deteriorating in the front of the tee pad to the point where it was a bit treacherous finding secure footing. Someone in my group rolled an ankle and was phased by the footing the entire round.
As noted in some other reviews, because the course is so long and open, it does feel a bit repetitive.
The holes could really use somewhere to sit, especially considering how long the course is. Shade is also at a premium, I played in early March and can only imagine that the summer rounds here are pretty brutal with the lack of shade, water, places to sit.

Other Thoughts:

The tee pads need some attention but the course is fun overall, even if it is a little too wide open.
Recommend printing a map or taking a photo of the course layout because the navigation is a little quirky.
Would gladly play the course again we the chance arises.

Long and open 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 2, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course will give you plenty of opportunity to crush drives and hone your skills playing in the wind.

Tee pads are good and Prodigy baskets catch well.

Course is mostly easy to navigate. Zero chance of losing plastic. Unlikely that you'll ever have to wait to play.

Cons:

Repetitive. The challenge is very one-dimensional.

The ground is soft with long St. Auggie's grass resulting in no roller opportunities and a tiring walk. Almost no shade on the course.

Other Thoughts:

It's not the worst course, by any means. It reminds me of Fountain Hills minus the lake, fountain, and pretty women on rollerblades.

You may love it, but not my cup of tea.
